History- The Lister was used by railroad companies for generators and refridgeration. Purchased from another collector in very poor condition.
Restoration- Engine was completely wore out.Formed to whittworth measurement which made parts replacement quite a challenge.

Low cart design is to compensate for an extremely heavy and unstable engine.Restored to original paint color.
